# ROBOdog: what is the Unitree Go2 robot dog and when is rental worth it **Robodog** — the robot dog — is one of the most "viral" technologies of today. Wherever it goes, people automatically reach for their phones. Let's take a look at what the **Unitree Go2** can really do, what it is good for, and when **rental** makes sense instead of buying. ## What is a robodog? A robodog (also *robot dog* or *robot dog*) is a four-legged walking robot that moves similarly to a real animal — it runs, jumps, gets up after a fall, and handles stairs and uneven terrain. Unlike wheeled robots, it can get practically anywhere. The most widespread model on the market is the **Unitree Go2** from manufacturer Unitree Robotics, which has become synonymous with an affordable and smart robot dog. ## What the Unitree Go2 can do - **Movement up to 5 m/s** — brisk running indoors and outdoors - **360° LiDAR** — maps its surroundings, avoids obstacles, can drive autonomously - **HD camera + 4G** — live video transmission from anywhere - **Stairs and terrain** — handles what a wheeled robot cannot - **Control from a phone and programming** (EDU version for developers) Models differ in equipment: **Go2 Air** (entry-level), **Go2 Pro** (more powerful) and **Go2 EDU** (for developers and demanding deployments). ## What a robodog is good for **1. Events and marketing.** A robodog is an attention magnet. At a corporate event, trade fair or store opening it draws a crowd, visitors take photos with it, and it gives the brand a modern, technological image. **2. Viral video content.** A robot dog is social-native — content with it is naturally shared. A single one of our events produced a video with **over 2 million views**, purely organically. **3. Security and patrols.** Autonomous site patrols, live 4G transmission and motion detection. A robodog guards where people don't want to go — at night, in dangerous environments, repeatedly. **4. Inspection and industry.** Checking operations, warehouses and hard-to-reach places. It walks up stairs and pipe walkways and collects data without risk to people. ## Rental, or purchase? **Rental** makes sense when you need a robodog for a **specific event** — a corporate event, commercial shoot, one-off campaign. You don't deal with the purchase price, servicing or operation; we bring the robot, provide an operator, and take it away after the event. **Purchase** pays off for **long-term or repeated deployment** — site security, regular inspections, development and teaching. With a purchase you get training and support in Czech. ## Why deal with a robodog through ROBOTio - 50+ projects with robots at events, trade fairs and in the media in the Czech Republic and Slovakia - **Rental and sale** of the Unitree Go2 — we'll advise you on choosing a model - Complete service: transport, operator, branding with your logo, and professional video/photo from the event - Support and communication in Czech, fast response ## Want a robodog?
